Microsoft plans to integrate rootkit detection technology from its Strider Ghostbuster research project into future versions of the Windows AntiSpyware application, Ziff Davis Internet News has learned.
Strider Ghostbuster, a prototype tool developed by Microsoft Corp.'s Cybersecurity and Systems Management Research Group, provides a straightforward way to detect Windows rootkits by comparing scan results between a clean system and one that may potentially be compromised. Details of Microsoft's plans remain scarce, but sources say the company has grown increasingly worried about the threat from stealth rootkits.
